Why?  The reg size is 32-bit, so it only should be read/written
as 32-bit value.
E.g. a brief look at _Unwind_RaiseException shows:
        lwz 12,5656(1)
...
        mtcrf 32,12      #,
        ld 15,5368(1)    #,
        ld 16,5376(1)    #,
        mtcrf 16,12      #,
        ld 17,5384(1)    #,
        ld 18,5392(1)    #,
        mtcrf 8,12       #,
so it shouldn't have any problems with 4 byte alignment (rather than 8 byte
alignment).
